Answer:A

Explanation:

The theory of continental drift suggests that the continents moved due to changes in the Earth's orbital velocity. The appropriate response is option 1.

The physicist Alfred Wegener is most closely connected with the concept of continental drift. Wegener wrote a paper outlining his notion that the continents were "drifting" across the Earth, occasionally crashing through seas and into one another, in the early 20th century.

Plate tectonics over millions of years produced continental drift. Additionally, plate tectonics clarified how the motion of the plates causes earthquakes and volcanoes, as well as how the collision of continents produced vast mountain ranges.

The fossil record is one sort of evidence that has been used to support the Theory of Continental Drift. In rocks with a comparable age, scientists have discovered fossils of related plant and animal species.
